the missing obit for Don Knotts
did I miss something on a bathroom break or did the Academy Awards run an In Memoriam tribute to film actors, actresses, composers, directors, editors, et alia, during tonight's ceremony...and not mention Don Knotts, who just passed away a few weeks ago?
While I will admit that his contribution to film was not on the level with a Robert Wise, he did star in multiple films and even recently did voice over work for "Chicken Little".
They did salute:
Teresa Wright
Noriyuki "Pat" Morita
Robert F. Newmyer
Dan O'Herlihy
Vincent Schiavelli
Joe Ranft
Moira Shearer
Fayard Nicholas
Joel Hirschhorn
Sandra Dee
John Fiedler
Anthony Franciosa
Stu Linder,
Barbara Bel Geddes
Moustapha Akkad
Chris Penn
John Mills
Robert "Buzz" Knudson
Simone Simon
Debra Hill
Onna White
Robert J. Schiffer
Guy Green
Brock Peters
Ernest Lehman
Shelley Winters
Anne Bancroft
John Box
Eddie Albert
Ismail Merchant
Robert Wise
Richard Pryor
But NOT Don Knotts.
Someone want to explain that to me?

It has been explained to me that they only list those who died in last calendar year. That makes sense on some levels...did any of the aforementioned honorees die in 2006?
